DESCRIPTION AND USES .
Rust-Oleum
®
Penetrating Concrete Sealer provides excellent
protection from the damaging effects of water, oil, chemicals, and
stains to help extend the life of concrete. Rust-Oleum Penetrating
Concrete Sealer seeps deep into concrete pores to form a
protective barrier beneath the surface. The durable barrier repels
water and water-borne salt preventing common concrete
problems (pitting, spalled, and dusting) also provides protection
against automotive oil and hydraulic fluids. Rust-Oleum
Penetrating Concrete Sealer is designed for use on bare
concrete and masonry surfaces such as driveways, patios,
walkways, landscaping blocks, and pavers. Do not use on
stained concrete.

..PRODUCT APPLICATION .
SURFACE PREPARATION
Allow new concrete to cure for a minimum of 28 days. Do not
use on asphalt. Remove any oil spots, grease, or spills and wash
the floor with a suitable detergent or degreasing solution.
Thoroughly rinse with fresh water. Then etch the floor using
Rust-Oleum
®
Concrete Etch. Note: If the concrete is not
completely rinsed, the sealer may not properly penetrate
the concrete.
If the floor is sealed, the sealer will have to be removed by
grinding or shot blasting. To determine if a concrete sealer is
present, drip a small amount of water onto various areas on the
surface. If the water beads up, a sealer is present and
Penetrating Concrete Sealer cannot be used.
Previously Coated Floors - Penetrating Concrete Sealer
cannot be used on previously painted floors. If the floor is
previously painted, all paint must be removed prior to
sealing.

WARNING! If you scrape, sand or remove old paint, you may
release lead dust. LEAD IS TOXIC. EXPOSURE TO LEAD
DUST CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ILLNESS SUCH AS BRAIN
DAMAGE, ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN. PREGNANT WOMEN
SHOULD ALSO AVOID EXPOSURE. Wear a NIOSH-approved
respirator to control lead exposure. Clean up carefully with a
HEPA vacuum and a wet mop. Before you start, find out how to

APPLICATION
Rust-Oleum Penetrating Concrete Sealer is ready to use. Apply
only when air, material, and surface temperatures are between
60-85°F (15-29°C) and the surface temperature is at least 5°F
(3°C) above the dew point. The relative humidity should not be
greater than 85%. The minimum floor temperature for painting is
55°F (13°C). Pour a portion of the material into a lined paint pan.
Immediately begin to cut in the perimeter of the floor along the
wall, or other areas where a roller cannot reach, using a brush or
edger before beginning roller application. Use a synthetic ⅜” nap
roller cover on a 9" roller frame to apply an even coat of
Penetrating Concrete Sealer onto the surface. Limit the
application to 4x4 foot (1.2x1.2m) sections at a time. Maintain a
wet edge to prevent lap marks and gloss variations. Make all final
passes in the same direction to ensure uniform appearance.
CLEAN-UP
When finished, wash tools and equipment with warm
water. Properly dispose of all soiled rags and protect
unused product from freezing.
